Day works docket
Day works docket is one of Demiton's published registers for Australian civil construction. Day works dockets for extra or variation work. Demiton keeps it current from the systems a contractor already runs and publishes the record's shape as a versioned JSON Schema, so the same question works whichever system produced the record.
